THE FUTURE OE WHEAT.
WHAT THE CANADIAN AND AMERICAN
FARMERS MUST DO.
''i • Meet the Competition of Cheap
Wheat From Artiesati-}re Improved
Methods of Culture Most be Introdue- . ,',K r•, '
lit sat us to Increase the held toPo,rty
'Bushels to the nitre.
Statisticians have trued to prove that
Within five years the value of wheat
would be at least two dollars a bushel,
and that this price would be reached by
gradual advance from now onwards,
until the consumption of it would over-
use the production :and then
surpass ` it, thus giving the
wheat grower the absolute command
of the markets of the world. It is douht-
lul if any farmer.was deluded by this
#oeate view • of the position of the
*heat grower, for every intelligent per-
son knows that the reserve'of land suit-
able for the culture of wheat within the
$oundaries of North America alone is
sufficient to more than double the pres-
1it product, without even any improve-.
]latent in the cultivation of this crop.
.And certainly every farmer knows that
if the rig..t methods were taken the
present product might be easily doubled
'Without adding a single acre now under
this crop. For, while the average pro-
duct of wheat if not more than eleven
R twelve bushels per acre, there are
s'1aany fanners who produce three tinies�
this yield, and what these farmers are
doing others may do and can do if they
will only use the sane methods.
But if we look abroad we find the very
lame conditioue prevailing over enor-
inous areas of territory suitable to the
growth of reheat. There is that vast
stretch of fertile land known as the
Northwest Territory of Canada, and
Which is only now being simply touched

Million bushels of wheat, which is about
$rhe whole product- of the world at this
time. The farins of Europe may be

paly the at present undeveloped fields

*elude Australia, a greater part of Africa,
And a vast area of Argentina just now
opened to this enterprise, ewith other
tarts of South America that will yield
the beet quality of this grain. And to
snake our story as short as possible we.
fiftay confine ourselves to Argentina
Mone.
Here are two hundred_ and forty mil -
bon acres of fine wheat lands, that two
years ago no one thought of as wheat
exporting territory. Indeed only a few
years back this great country procured
its supplies of wheat and flour from the
United States, but last yeah it exported
twenty million bushels as a beginning,
and the present season expects to have a
surplus of fifty million bushels to export.
And by the use of the most improved
machinery and large enterprise, wheat
is now grown at a good and indeed at-
tractive profie for twenty-five cents a
'bushel, which is about the cost of it in
the (`.ruadiaan Northwest Territory and
the If ikotas. At only ten bushels an
acre here alone is a doubling of the
worle's product. At the present tune
Canadian wheat is being carried from
Winnipeg, in Manitoba, to Eugland for
twenty .eight cents a bushel, and
the w heat of Argentina can be
d down in the same market for
fifty cents a bushel. Considering these
vast fields and their possible, not to say
probable or certain products, in the near
future, what is then the position of the
American farmer ? He must grow
Wheat, or change entirely his rotation
and system of farming. The pivot on
which his rotation revolves is wheat,
sad he cannot abandon it. Then he
Must make up ikiis mind to compete with
these foreign Wheat growers and meet
*hem on equal terns. And doubtless
he will be able to do this and produce
this grain for twenty-five cents a bushel,
when he adopts the indispensable im-
proved methods of culture by which the
yield may be made to reach forty
bushels to the acre. And this seems to
be the present view of the future of
wheat that must be taken, and indeed
that presents itself to the American far-
mer. =-Ainericau Agriculturist.
